Waterford Estate
Waterford Estate is situated in the Blaauwklippen Valley on the rolling slopes of the Helderberg Mountain in the well-known Stellenbosch region. Waterford Estate prides themselves in making Fine Wine from carefully selected grapes. Winemaker, Mark Le Roux and viticulturist, David van Schalkwyk both believe a Fine Wine displays the character of its cultivar and a true sense of place. A Fine Wine should reflect the length on the palate, has a complexity of flavours, internal harmony between aromatics and the palate, and balance between its essential components.
Description
The wine boasts an inviting golden hue, offering aromas of golden delicious apples and white peach, harmoniously balanced by a mineral salinity. The mouthfeel is richly layered, featuring a refreshing and enduring acidity that finely textures the body. The lingering minerality adds complexity and intrigue to the overall experience. The use of concrete egg fermentation contributes to the finish’s complexity, allowing the wine to showcase the pure essence of Chenin blanc fruit.
